Documentation and Academic Honesty

Documentation style (with illustrative examples)
Hand written and typed lecture notes including solved examples and tutorial problems are
prepared from various references related to the topics. The student shall try to solve these
tutorial problems by himself while answers are given individually. The solutions of these
problems are given to the student before the final examination.

Protection by copyright

Avoiding plagiarism.
